BEST Place to Find Tall Bachelors EVER

Being 5'9 and Kimmmm at 5'11, we always keep an eye out for those tall gents out there to come along and tower over our heads. We've been known to plan hypothetical trips based solely on the height of the people that reside there. Australia was always a top contender, and the Netherlands just made the list after a co-worker returned from working over there and remarked, "all the people over there are active and tall and, well, like you, Emmmm."

Please note: We did not take this into consideration when planning our Peru trip as everyone there peeked at the height of 4'2.




Anyhow, after considering the continents, we seemed to breeze over what may be a secret haven for tall bachelorettes like ourselves... ASIA! As you may have heard over the past couple days, Bao Xishun, a seven feet, nine inches herdsman listed by Guinness World Records as the tallest living man, married a 29-year-old saleswoman.

Apparently, he sent out marriage advertisements across the world to find that special someone. And a special someone indeed. Take a look at the happy couple. Granted, when I look at the photo, another happy couple comes to mind (think American Asian Gothic).

Wow, I mean, WOW! She comes up to his waist! I know the picture lends itself to obvious speculation as to how they would... er... um... dance, but come on.. his waist! Well, hats off to you, Mr. & Mrs. Bao Xishun! And, thank you for opening our eyes to another continent we shall add to our ongoing list of destinations suitable for all things tall.

To all the tall ladies out there, anyone up for a little trip to the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing??? I'm just saying...

    I know one thing's for sure. She doesn't have to get down on her knees to...




    ...tie her shoes. Unless she wants to. She could just bend over and do it.
